I preferred the old way
Duolingo's core system is still one of the best out there. It gets users conjugating and constructing sentences, often quite silly ones, to ensure they're truly understand how the language works rather than just parroting stock phrases. You won't escape your grammar lessons here. However last year they altered the progression from simple 'levels' to a kind of open-ended system of simply ranking up in the same skill over and over again. I had already completed the Spanish tree (and had honestly moved on from Duolingo, attending conversation classes and meetups), so perhaps I was just unable to readjust backwards to the new system. New users may enjoy it.

It is still by far the best, simplest and cheapest (ie: free) way to try a new language and start getting to grips with the basics.

The story starts out by having Heather with her daughter and visiting her father. Heather starts the story of her childhood from when her mother left them. The story is painful but intruding at the same time.

We get the authors view of things through her eyes. We also learn about how she and her sister Jazz needs to deal with grieving. We learn about her life in foster care with her brother and sister. Heather has a hard time with her mother's loss.

We see what happens when their father has to make his decision. The siblings have a bond together. We also learn about their father background and the family history. I learned that the siblings had a strong bond with each other. They can not seem to understand why their father does not want to escape the basement.

Welcome to 2000 Dracula
Dracula 2000- it is what it is, a cheesy horror flick in the early 2000's that trys so hard to be scary and horrorfyed that its not. Its also trying so hard to connect to the early 2000's, with rock and sex. I mean it did come out in 2000 so.

The plot: Long ago, Abraham Van Helsing (Christopher Plummer) imprisoned the infamous Count Dracula (Gerard Butler) within a vault inside Carfax Abbey. In the present day, Van Helsing relies on Dracula's immortal blood to remain alive. But then thieves breaks into the vault and steal the vampire's coffin, thinking it contains something valuable. Liberated from his prison, Dracula seizes the opportunity to escape, but Van Helsing sets out to banish him to the crypt once again.

All i can say is that its okay.
